Cairo – People in Qena, Luxor, and Beni Suef Governorates harnessed the power of dialogue to improve their daily lives as part of a 6-year project called “Hewar” sponsored by CARE International and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

“When citizens see that they can play a role to change their communities for the better, it builds hope for the future,” said Walter North, Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development.  “I am proud that USAID has been a part of a program that has brought together enthusiastic groups of young Egyptian men and women around one goal:  to serve and develop their local community.”
